What the source record says
Serverfarm data center campus on Hazelbrand Road in Covington, Newton County, powered by an adjacent VoltaGrid on-site natural-gas plant. Georgia EPD issued an air-quality permit for the data center and 37 diesel emergency generators on 2026-06-29, but issued Notices of Violation on 2026-07-02 because construction began before the required permits were obtained. Coordinates are an approximate Covington geocode, not a parcel-confirmed footprint.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
